Watkins or Hyde? Championship Contender

Postby Daltanian » Mon Oct 16, 2017 6:24 pm

64 team (4 copies of each player) Superflex, IDP, 1.0 PPR League with 0.25 points per carry. Start 1-2 QB's, 2-4 RB's, and 3-5 WR's.

I was offered Hyde straight up for Watkins. I'm a strong contender and currently the 2nd or 3rd highest scoring team out of 64. I think I can afford to wait on Watkins, but at the same time don't want to miss a shot at a championship. Genuinely torn as I was high on Hyde before the season started and he is currently the #13 overall player including QB's, while Watkins is 365th.

Hyde gives me a better shot this year, but am I selling Sammy short? Or is his potential worth the risk? I know Hyde brings risks of his own, but I do already own Breida.

Offensive Starters:
QB: M. Mariota
QB: R. Wilson
RB: T. Gurley
RB: M. Gordon
WR: D. Baldwin
WR: B. Cooks
WR: S. Diggs
WR: S. Watkins
TE: ASJ

Notable Bench: J. Kearse, M. Breida, G. Kittle, CJ Prosise, T. Taylor, A. Gates
16 Team Superflex

QB: R. Wilson, Tannehill
RB: CMC, A. Kamara, A. Ekeler, CEH
WR: D. Adams, M. Thomas, T. Lockett, AJ Green, J. Edelman, L. Fitzgerald

I think the Hyde side should probably add a little something on their side.

With .25 ppc, its reasonable, assuming you are a contender and need an RB. In a vacuum, I'd still probably prefer Watkins.

If you're competing this year, or any future year, it's always Hyde. I'd have to clearly win a trade to take on Watkins.

I am contending this year, and primarily worry about the healthy of Hyde and the rumors behind him being placed on the trading block. With that said, I'm pleasantly surprised with the results and responses so far. Thanks guys

Hyde will be better for this year, but not enough for me to cut ways with the next 5-7 years of Watkins
